How to change fail2ban timeout during reboot in F40?

[Frank Bures]

Hi,

I was a target of an attack resulting in 1600 banned IP address by fail2ban.

When I reboot, f2b tries to unban those IPs but it ultimately times out and 
a large number of IPs becomes orphaned.  They stay in firewalld, but f2b 
does not know about them anymore.

And indeed

root@ryzen:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl show fail2ban.service -p 
TimeoutStopUSec

TimeoutStopUSec=45s

How do I increase the 45s timeout to something more suitable?  I was not 
able to find where in the system is that value set.

Thanks
Frank

Of course, you'll want to set something suitable for your system's needs

~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/fail2ban.service.d/timeout.conf 
[Service]
TimeoutStopSec=5min
